History Table Quiz
Students from Third Year participated in the annual Cork History Teachers’ Association Table Quiz this past week. 47 teams competed from schools all over the region, both English-Medium Language schools and Gaelcholáistí. Some travelled from as far away as Tralee, Co. Kerry. The questions were based on the first, second and third year History course. It provided great revision for the students before the state exams and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Try a question from the night yourself!
